Esther 9:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ the ten sons of Haman, son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But the Jews did not ·take [plunder; confiscate] their ·belongings [property; ^Cthis shows they attacked out of self-defense, not for material gain; 8:11; Gen. 14:23].

¹¹ On that day the number killed in the ·palace [citadel; fortress; 1:2] at Susa was reported to the king. ¹² The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have ·killed [slaughtered] and destroyed five hundred people in the ·palace [citadel; fortress; 1:2] at Susa, as well as Haman’s ten sons. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s ·empire [provinces]! Now what ·else are you asking [^Lis your petition]? I will do it! What ·else [more] do you want? It will be ·done [granted]!”
